I am in the process of preparing my 79 Bronco for a Heart transplant. I plan on transplanting a 5.9 12 valve engine and 5 speed tranny. I have the donor vehicle located. It is a 93 Dodge 1 ton.

I am going to keep track of every dime that I spend. Take lots of pictures. After I make some progress I will do a build thread.

Next time that I am home I am going to remove the body from the frame. I will completely clean and paint the frame, replace the body bushings, paint the underside of the tub.

Here is a teaser picture.

 

Is that a 6BT? if that's so, check for threads from an user called AmericanThunder, he made exactly the same swap a couple of years ago.

 

I have his thread book marked from FSB. I plan on using it to help me.
